China's SMIC says foreign clients shifting orders back to China

SMIC said overseas orders are increasing as the global AI boom tightens capacity at foreign foundries. The update suggests stronger demand for the Chinese chipmaker and potential share gains from supply constraints elsewhere. The news is positive for SMIC but limited in immediate market impact given the lack of financial figures or guidance.
